Descaling
When to descale
Descale the Senseo
®
coffee machine frequently. Preferably descale 4 to
6 times a year, but at least once every 3 months. There is no difference
between soft-water and hard-water areas in this respect. Descaling takes
about 1 hour. Do not interrupt the descaling process.
Why to descale
Scale builds up inside the machine during use. It is essential to descale the
coffee machine at least every 3 months. Your reasons to descale:
- It prolongs the life of your coffee machine
- It ensures maximum cup volume
- It ensures maximum coffee temperature
- The machine produces less sound during brewing
- It prevents malfunctioning
If the descaling procedure is not performed correctly, scale residue remains
behind in the machine. This causes scale to build up more quickly and may
cause permanent and irreparable damage to the machine.
Use the correct descaler
Only citric acid-based descalers are suitable for descaling the Senseo
®
machine. This type of descaler descales the machine without damaging it.
For the correct amount, see under ‘Descaling procedure’ below.
Each descaling mixture can be used only once. Use a new descaling
mixture each time.
Never use a descaler based on mineral acids such as sulphuric acid,
hydrochloric acid, sulphamic acid and acetic acid (e.g. vinegar).
These descalers may damage your Senseo
®
coffee machine.
Descaling procedure
The descaling procedure consists of 2 descaling cycles, each with 1 quart
(1 litre) of descaling mixture, and 2 flushing cycles. Do not interrupt the
descaling cycles and do not turn off the machine before or between the
flushing cycles.
1 Press the on/off button
I
to turn on the machine.
2 Place the 1-cup pod holder
°
with a used coffee pod in it in the
coffee machine. Close the lid and make sure it is properly locked.
3 Mix the descaler powder with 1 quart (1 litre) of water in a
measuring jug. Stir until the powder is completely dissolved.
4 Fill the water reservoir up to the MAX indication with the descaler
mixture.
Note: If your coffee machine has a water reservoir with a capacity of less than
1 quart (1 litre), you have to repeat steps 4 to 7 with the remainder of the
mixture with the remaining descaler mixture.
5 Put the water reservoir back into the coffee machine. The machine is
ready for use when the indicator light lights up continuously.
6 Put a bowl with a capacity of at least 1.6 qt (1.5 liters) under the
coffee outflow unit to collect the descaling mixture.
